Innovation
Where marine biology meets clean, solvent-free extraction technology. A closer look at the science and process behind every Phytality product.
Closed-System Phytoplankton Cultivation
All Phytality phytoplankton is grown on land in closed-system facilities — not harvested from the sea and not cultivated in open ponds.
Our European production facility uses an extensive network of sealed glass photobioreactors housed in state-of-the-art greenhouses. These closed systems allow precise control over light, temperature, water purity, and nutrient supply, producing phytoplankton of consistently high quality, free from environmental contaminants.
This controlled-environment approach is a substantial improvement over both open-pond cultivation (which risks contamination from airborne pollutants, insects, and competing organisms) and wild-harvesting (which depletes marine food chains).
The result is a premium, pure phytoplankton powder with a notably mild taste and smell — quite different from products made using less controlled methods.
How Phytoplankton Supplements Are Made
Our production process is vertically integrated, meaning we control every stage:
1. Pure strain cultivation. Individual phytoplankton strains are maintained and grown in sterile laboratory conditions before scaling up.
2. Closed-loop photobioreactors. Strains are cultivated at scale using photosynthesis in sealed glass tube systems, powered by natural sunlight.
3. Gentle harvesting and drying. Phytoplankton is harvested and carefully dried to preserve its full nutrient profile.
4. Blending. For ULTANA™ products, two strains are blended after drying to create the optimal nutritional composition.
5. Quality testing. Every batch is tested to strict food-safety standards before release.
Solvent-Free Algae Oil Extraction
Our Clean Omega-3 DHA oil follows a different but equally rigorous production path.
Water and enzyme-based extraction. Unlike most algae oil producers who use chemical solvents such as hexane, Phytality's production partners developed one of the world's first water-based extraction processes for DHA algae oil. This preserves the natural integrity of the oil and eliminates solvent residues.
Swiss-designed purification. After extraction, the oil is refined using advanced purification technology developed in Switzerland. This process removes nearly all saturated fats and the compounds responsible for the fishy taste and odour common in lower-quality algae oils.
The finished oil is clear, mild, and achieves a DHA concentration exceeding 50% in its natural triglyceride form — smooth enough to take neat and easy to incorporate into daily use.
Quality Standards and Certifications
Safety, consistency, and traceability are non-negotiable. Every Phytality product is:
ISO 22000 & IFS certified. Produced in facilities certified to ISO 22000 and IFS International Food Standard.
GMP protocols. Manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice protocols.
Vegan, kosher, and halal certified. Independently verified to meet all three standards.
Fully traceable. Every product is traceable from culture to finished product.
Contaminant-free. Free from pesticides, heavy metals, and ocean-borne contaminants.
Unlike many supplement brands that purchase generic ingredients from changing suppliers, Phytality maintains exclusive, long-term partnerships with integrated production facilities. Every batch is consistent, and every product is backed by the same scientific collaboration that created it.
Expert-Led Supplement Formulation
Every Phytality product is developed in collaboration with qualified nutritional professionals, ensuring optimal nutrient balance and bioavailability.
We only produce products we take ourselves and give to our families. That principle shapes every decision we make about ingredients, processes, and quality thresholds.
